Its so obvious there was almost no passion behind this film.
From the lackluster script to lame characters.
This is suppose to be based off the classic universal monster.....but this is not a horror film, its an action film wich is already a bad decision.
There are some horror elements but it tries to combine it with action and it just doesn't do that very well.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A supernatural action-thriller that swings wildly between creature-feature scares and globe-trotting adventure, powered by Tom Cruise's intensity and a vengeful ancient curse that refuses to stay buried. It's deliberately overblown and dramatically uneven, sometimes thrilling, sometimes absurd, but never boring.

Reviews
I think the biggest problem with this film is a very weak cast lead by Tom Cruise. He walks through the film relying on his “charm,” and little else, as if that is all he needs to offer.
There isn’t anything inherently wrong with the movie otherwise. Nothing that we haven’t been willing to hand wave away in other films. There is just a lack of anyone believing in what they are doing. If they don’t, why should we?
